Chai Tea (Latte'???)

[chrisw21]

I don't even like drinking Chai Tea, but the girl does, so I gave it a shot. I've now gone through about 30ml of the stuff myself. She asked for a latte', but I don't think it's quite creamy enough yet to give it that distinction, but here it is:

I did 50/50, 6mg....

14% Chai Tea (TFA)
6% Vanilla Custard (Caps)
3% French Vanilla (TFA)
1% Cinnamon Danish (Caps)


I think next batch I'll increase the Custard to around 8% and the vanilla to 4 or 5% to increase the creaminess. Maybe even try a little butter in there. She mentioned maybe a drop or two of Coconut Candy just to highlight, too. Like I said, I don't like drinking Chai, so I don't know exactly what it's supposed to taste like, but I do enjoy this!!! Good after a day, much better after a week!!!

That sounds good! I have a vanilla chai, real stuff, that tastes like it has a bit of gingerbread spice in it. I think I'll try your recipe and sub Gingerbread flavor instead of Cinnamon Danish.

I have been vaping a Chai Tea from a B&M vendor, and it is in my ADV rotation. I have been trying to come up with a DIY to replicate it, but so far I have fallen short. Keep reporting the progress, would love to hear what you come up with.

I have Chai Tea from TPA as well, and it's good on it's own but not the sweetness I get from the one I buy. I have some brown sugar flavor coming from TPA, and think that may be one of the missing ingredients I am looking for. Mine isn't the latte part, but would play around with that if you come up with something good.

What % did you mix the Chai at? My first attempt was just straight Chai at 16%. I liked it after about 10 days steeping. I added the Cinnamon Danish to this one mainly for the added sweetness, and the additional cinnamon was a bit of a bonus, too. The thing I have real trouble with, with all of my mixes, is getting that creaminess. That smooth mouth feel that seems to almost coat your tongue. I just can't replicate that yet. I don't know if it's my mixing or my inability to let things steep long enough, but that creaminess is my personal Holy Grail. And so the search continues....

I did a straight 10% flavor. After a few days I did add a little cotton candy to sweeten it up a bit and it did tone down that herb leafy spice taste. I like mine a little sweeter, that's why I got brown sugar and you reminded me I got some cinnamon as well (not the hot kind) to mix in.

Have you tried marshmallow flavoring? That tends to be a very smooth creamy vape for me. I have only tried Lorain's for that marshmallow but I know TPA has it as well.

I do have a marsh... I think Capella, but not positive. I've played with it a bit, but only in low %. Maybe I need to up it a bit?? I'll go play with it some more, thanks!

Sounds like an recipe worth trying... I am also wondering if 2 or 3% tfa horchata would do the trick as well as the cinnamon danish...
